In my life, I've been a movie star, a rock star, and a sports star, all wrapped up into one-and worked harder at it than anybody else. ~ Ric Flair
Sports Stars quotes by Ric Flair
The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it. ~ Betty Cuthbert
Sports Stars quotes by Betty Cuthbert
The Indonesian brands aren't interested in sports people, only movie stars, because they can get more exposure in the media. ~ Taufik Hidayat
Sports Stars quotes by Taufik Hidayat
There's no doubt that he's the biggest sports star in the world now.
(on David Beckham) ~ Nick Hornby
Sports Stars quotes by Nick Hornby
That, my dear, is a mystery to be solved. ~ Iris Blobel
Sports Stars quotes by Iris Blobel
It is surprising how many professional athletes, along with their families and friends, are gaga over movie and music stars, and the reverse is true with entertainers and sports stars. ~ Cheech Marin
Sports Stars quotes by Cheech Marin
A coach has to worry not so much about creating motivation, esprit de corps, as about destroying it. The true competitor has it; he wouldn't be a star if he didn't. So you have to mold all these egos together and make sure in your selection of people that you don't destroy the feeling of togetherness or morale, because it is a fragile thing. ~ Dick Motta
Sports Stars quotes by Dick Motta
It was another example of a phenomenon I call "the talking dog syndrome." Some people are still amazed that any woman (this includes Governors' wives, corporate CEOs, sports stars and rock singers) can hold her own under pressure and be articulate and knowledgeable. The dog can talk! ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton
Sports Stars quotes by Hillary Rodham Clinton
While writing my first 90 books, I was magazine editor, publisher, book publisher, executive, etc., so I was established in publishing. three of my seven or so books were biographies of sports stars and really opened doors for me in that area. ~ Jerry B. Jenkins
Sports Stars quotes by Jerry B. Jenkins
Let's face it: in advertising, you are paid more, but you die younger. It's not very forgiving. Like sports stars, you're in it during your better years, and then you're out looking for work. ~ Jerry Della Femina
Sports Stars quotes by Jerry Della Femina
Don't kiss me again," she begged softly as she stood. ~ Iris Blobel
Sports Stars quotes by Iris Blobel
Do you believe you're a starter or a benchwarmer? Do you believe you're an all-star or an also- ran? If the answers to these questions are the latter, your play on the field will reflect it. But when you've learned to shut off outside influences and believe in yourself, there's no telling how good a player you can be. ~ Rod Carew
Sports Stars quotes by Rod Carew
Rock stars are like sports stars: If you snap your ankle, you're done. ~ Dave Grohl
Sports Stars quotes by Dave Grohl
I would just say that I could share what served me, which was trying to find the best material that I could possibly find and make it better. When other celebrities and sports stars, or people that are successful in another area, cross over into movies, they're always encouraged to bring that same tenacity and that same relentless drive that you had to make it. You have to apply that to acting. ~ Dwayne Johnson
Sports Stars quotes by Dwayne Johnson
Sometimes it feels like I live in such a shit town. It meets all reasonable definitions of a shit town. There are still men who put on hats to drive on these roads, our only celebrities are sports stars and newsreaders, and everyone you meet already knows your mother. p.34 ~ Nick Earls
Sports Stars quotes by Nick Earls
Tiger Woods is the only sports star who's worth every penny he makes. ~ Mark Wahlberg
Sports Stars quotes by Mark Wahlberg
I don't plan on writing biographies of great sports stars who are still playing ball. But I did write one on Jackie Robinson, who was playing ball in the 20th century. ~ David A. Adler
Sports Stars quotes by David A. Adler
There are many stars and a few super-stars in sport. There are champions who bag a coronet now and then, and there are others who dominate some game year after year. In other words there are Bobby Jones and Helen Wills. ~ Grantland Rice
Sports Stars quotes by Grantland Rice
I didn't know it yet, but he would become one of our high school's super-athletes. There were hints of athletic (and, presumably, sexual) prowess there. For one, boys as ridiculously Abercrombie- esque good-looking as he was are always sports stars throughout high school. It is a rule, a self- fulfilling prophecy. It seems as if, sometime during elementary school, coaches make note of the little boys with the most classic bone structure and the best height projections and kidnap them, training them under cover of night. Not all of them will make it in college ball (that's what people call it, right?) because by the time they're all seniors, many of them will have been riding more on the sportsman-like nature of their faces than their actual abilities. But until that day, coaches will keep putting them on the field in the most prominent and visually appealing positions because they just kind of look like that's where they should be. At least I'm pretty sure that is what's going on. ~ Katie Heaney
Sports Stars quotes by Katie Heaney
My knee, my injury, my questions. ~ Iris Blobel
Sports Stars quotes by Iris Blobel
The sporting fields where Australia's greats began their careers are built and rebuilt with Commonwealth help, as are the halls and community centres where our most of our well-known stars first felt the magic of the stage. ~ Anthony Albanese
Sports Stars quotes by Anthony Albanese
The first time I ever saw Arnold Palmer, I said, There's a star. The first time I saw Jack Nicklaus, I said, Superstar. I feel the same way about Tiger Woods. ~ Gary Player
Sports Stars quotes by Gary Player
'Dancing with The Stars' is like learning a new sport with lots of bumps and bruises. ~ Romeo Miller
Sports Stars quotes by Romeo Miller
There they were, the movers and shakers of Benjamin Franklin Hight - the sports stars, the cheerleaders, the good, the great, the gorgeous - bent over their pizzas.
Trish sensed my angst and said, "My mother says girls like Lisa Shooty get the ultimate curse known to man."
"What's that?"
"Too much too soon."
I looked at poor, cursed Lisa who had been sprayed with sex appeal at birth. She had gleaming teeth and long, raven-black curls. She threw back her head and laughed with diamond-studded joy.
"When do you think the curse takes effect?" I asked.
"Not in our lifetime," Trish answered. ~ Joan Bauer
Sports Stars quotes by Joan Bauer
Being a sport star and a chef both require passion, commitment, work and natural ability. ~ Paul Rankin
Sports Stars quotes by Paul Rankin
The people we talk about around water cooler at work or at school, they're all the people who are visible in our media whether it's a sports star or a movie star or a writer or a politician. They are people that have received media exposure and have become important to us in a way that's not realistic. ~ Crowder
Sports Stars quotes by Crowder
People's instinct when they hear someone is madly obsessed with Star Wars or Harry Potter or something like that, they think that it's odd and not as cool as being a massive sports fan or film nerd. But I think it's amazing and something that should be celebrated and definitely not looked down on or misunderstood. ~ Tom Felton
Sports Stars quotes by Tom Felton
One day or another every athlete feels like taking it easy. He stops trying to exceed his limits, and thinks he can keep winning because of his lucky star, or the bad luck of his opponents. You must overcome this negative instinct, which affects all of us, and which is the only difference between the person who wins a race, and those who lose. This is the battle you have to fight every day of your life. ~ Jesse Owens
Sports Stars quotes by Jesse Owens
Sports figures are to the '70s what movie stars were to the '60s. ~ Andy Warhol
Sports Stars quotes by Andy Warhol
I keep getting these extraordinary letteres, really weird ones from American sports stars - I've always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you're single I want to meet you for a drink. ~ Elizabeth Hurley
Sports Stars quotes by Elizabeth Hurley
It is just a crazy life as a sportsman. My daughter, Sam, wants to go into tennis, and I tell her, 'No, you don't want to go into professional sport.' ~ Ernie Els
Sports Stars quotes by Ernie Els
I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me. ~ Cam Gigandet
Sports Stars quotes by Cam Gigandet
I don't agree with the idea that you have to live in a bubble and sacrifice all your time to something if you want to succeed. I need to be interested in things outside my sport, and I need to meet new people. For me, judo is an expression of the harmony I achieve in my life. ~ Ryoko Tani
Sports Stars quotes by Ryoko Tani
It must be wonderful sport to contradict each other. ~ Juliana Of The Netherlands
Sports Stars quotes by Juliana Of The Netherlands
So much of the past in encapsulated in the odds and ends. Most of us discard more information about ourselves than we ever care to preserve. Our recollection of the past is not simply distorted by our faulty perception of events remembered but skewed by those forgotten. The memory is like twin orbiting stars, one visible, one dark, the trajectory of what's evident forever affected by the gravity of what's concealed. ~ Sue Grafton
Sports Stars quotes by Sue Grafton
I'm trying to teach my children not to cry. That's the big thing. No crying. Because I think we can all agree that crying is, for the most part, for sissies. If my team loses, I'm going to cry. And I'm going to want my kids to see me crying. Not because I think sports are so important, but because I bet so much money on the game that we'll probably lose the house if my team doesn't win. That's something to cry about. ~ Michael Ian Black
Sports Stars quotes by Michael Ian Black
If you have an active mind, it always helps. You know, people who don't do crosswords, their minds fall asleep. That's why I do them-my mind is always working. One day my brain is going to explode through the top of my head. ~ Brett Hull
Sports Stars quotes by Brett Hull
The room was silent, just the low murmur of Sports Center coming from the television. Ruxs' eyes were on the sports announcers but he wasn't listening to them. He could feel Green's strong presence. It called to him. He heard him rustling in his chair and turned to look in his direction. Green was still reclined all the way back. He was looking at the TV, his eyes heavy, one hand down inside his lounge pants. Ruxs could see his hand moving. Oh my God. Ruxs had an urge to rub his own aching balls. Shit. Poor things. They'd been sorely neglected for months. He ~ A.E. Via
Sports Stars quotes by A.E. Via
Hope you two boys can dig. There'll be some digging to do." "Graves?" Eddie asked, not sure if he was joking or not. "Graves come later." Roland looked up at the sky, but the clouds had advanced out of the west and stolen the stars. "Just remember, it's the winners who dig them. ~ Stephen King
Sports Stars quotes by Stephen King
Girls gave sex to get love and boys gave love to get sex and conning girls was the favorite indoor sport. ~ Merle Shain
Sports Stars quotes by Merle Shain
I love what Joe Eszterhas written about Bill Clinton. It's hilarious, Clinton as a rock star, which is the way we should remember him. ~ Chris Matthews
Sports Stars quotes by Chris Matthews
90. Look up at heaven and hell in the sky, for the stars are balls of fire suspended there by the angels. ~ Anne Rice
Sports Stars quotes by Anne Rice
I received a letter from the Reich Ministry of Sports. They want me to split from Joe Jacobs, my manager since 1928 ... I really need Joe Jacobs. I owe all my success in America to him. ~ Max Schmeling
Sports Stars quotes by Max Schmeling
I stood on the cedar deck for quite a spell, eye fuckin' the night sky, trying to stare down the stars. Blood had crusted on my neck, back, in my hair, down the legs of my jeans, to where i was as spattered as a thumbless beef packer. I kept on with my close study of the higher reaches, fantasizing that a comet was due to streak by trailing a message only for me, spelled out clearly and printed huge. Some epigram from far away out there that'd clue me in on how to feel after killing a man ~ Daniel Woodrell
Sports Stars quotes by Daniel Woodrell
If the Earth is the size of a pea in New York, then the Sun is a beachball 50m away, Pluto is 4km away, and the next nearest star is in Tokyo. Now shrink Pluto's orbit into a coffee cup; then our Milky Way Galaxy fills North America. ~ Wayne Hays
Sports Stars quotes by Wayne Hays
As a kid I never knew what I wanted to be when I grow up, but the only thing I knew was that I wanted to create things. And then I wanted to be an astronaut. I would paint stars and the atmosphere and then frame and hang the universe up on my bedroom wall. A few years down the line while I was still stargazing, I came to realize that I'm halfway around the world chasing something and the whole time it's in my backyard. From the very beginning I was who I always wanted to be. ~ Shawn Lukas
Sports Stars quotes by Shawn Lukas
She draws back, yet refuses to lose skin contact. Golden light flickers across his face. He is the night, the stars. His soul shines so brightly, she could pour it into a jar, and it'd be as bright as the sun. ~ Laura Kreitzer
Sports Stars quotes by Laura Kreitzer
You know, if Nicole Kidman was a rock star, she'd be alot more professional than me, I'm sorry. ~ Courtney Love
Sports Stars quotes by Courtney Love
Various stars. Various kings.
Various sunsets, signs, cursory insights.
Many minute attentions, many knowledgeable watchers,
Much cold, much overbearing darkness.

Various long midwinter Glooms.
Various Solitary and Terrible Stars.
Many Frosty Nights, many previously Unseen Sky-flowers.
Many people setting out (some of them kings) all clutching at stars.

...

Various people coming home (some of them kings). Various headlights.
Two or three children standing or sitting on the low wall.
Various winds, the Sea Wind, the sound-laden Winds of Evening
Blowing the stars toward them, bringing snow. ~ Alice Oswald
Sports Stars quotes by Alice Oswald
The trouble with most coaches is that they start with the assumption that everybody is a turd. And that ain't right. ~ Bum Phillips
Sports Stars quotes by Bum Phillips
As I looked up to the stars, I began to cry. I thought the one star that was missing was the Puerto Rican star on the American flag. ~ Jose Andres
Sports Stars quotes by Jose Andres
Every instance since the beginning of time has been a coincidence: A leaf in a tree embodies the combined efforts of the earth, water, wind, stars, and sunshine. When you realize that everything has led to the present, to this moment, you see there's nothing to be afraid of, nothing to be burdened by. The present moment is the moment of arrival - and it took the entire universe to create it. All is as it should be. ~ Deepak Chopra
Sports Stars quotes by Deepak Chopra
The dark came down on All Hallows' Eve. We went to sleep to the sound of howling wind and pelting rain, and woke on the Feast of All Saints to whiteness and large soft flakes falling down and down in absolute silence. There is no more perfect stillness than the solitude in the heart of a snowstorm. This is the thin time, when the beloved dead draw near. The world turns inward, and the chilling air grows thick with dreams and mystery. The sky goes from a sharp clear cold where a million stars burn bright and close, to the gray-pink cloud that enfolds the earth with the promise of snow. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Sports Stars quotes by Diana Gabaldon
Since I was a kid, I've wanted to do sports for a living. In the beginning, I played a lot of soccer, but in the end I chose tennis. I love sports in general ... But tennis is my passion. ~ Rafael Nadal
Sports Stars quotes by Rafael Nadal
There are human beings in this world who are soft enough to feel every terrible thing that happens so deeply. And are still brave enough to remain constant and suffer for those who need them the most. Even the stars blink in awe of the gleam of their souls. ~ Nikita Gill
Sports Stars quotes by Nikita Gill
Even girls made of stars are captives, bound at the wrists and traded like property. Even girls made of stars aren't asked, aren't believed, aren't considered worth the effort unless they can offer something in return.
Even girls made of stars buy into those lies sometimes. ~ Ashley Herring Blake
Sports Stars quotes by Ashley Herring Blake
The sons of Dior and Nimloth were Elured and Elurin; and a daughter also was born to them, and she was named Elwing, which is Star-spray, for she was born on a night of stars, whose light glittered in the spray of the waterfall of Lanthir Lamath beside her father's house. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Sports Stars quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
A typical neuron makes about ten thousand connections to neighboring neurons. Given the billions of neurons, this means there are as many connections in a single cubic centimeter of brain tissue as there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy. ~ David Eagleman
Sports Stars quotes by David Eagleman
You rejoice in your freedom, and you feel that at last you can call your soul your own. You seem to walk with your head among the stars. And then, all of a sudden you can't stand it anymore, and you notice that all the time your feet have been walking in the mud. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Sports Stars quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Basketball has always been a sport I loved and grew up playing. For me, it was one of those things that ... I guess baseball was just in my genes a little bit. I have a lot of cousins that played baseball. Basketball is not an easy sport - you definitely got to be gifted to play that game. I felt like I was pretty good at it, but my ability was better in baseball. ~ Dellin Betances
Sports Stars quotes by Dellin Betances
For me, the magic of Hawaii comes from the stillness, the sea, the stars. ~ Joanne Harris
Sports Stars quotes by Joanne Harris
In prehistoric times, early man was bowled over by natural events: rain, thunder, lightning, the violent shaking and moving of the ground, mountains spewing deathly hot lava, the glow of the moon, the burning heat of the sun, the twinkling of the stars. Our human brain searched for an answer, and the conclusion was that it all must be caused by something greater than ourselves - this, of course, sprouted the earliest seeds of religion. This theory is certainly reflected in faery lore. In the beautiful sloping hills of Connemara in Ireland, for example, faeries were believed to have been just as beautiful, peaceful, and pleasant as the world around them. But in the Scottish Highlands, with their dark, brooding mountains and eerie highland lakes, villagers warned of deadly water-kelpies and spirit characters that packed a bit more punch. ~ Signe Pike
Sports Stars quotes by Signe Pike
Hermes gazed up at the stars. 'My dear young cousin, if there's one thing I've learned over the eons, it's that you can't give up on your family, no matter how tempting they make it. It doesn't matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don't appreciate your genius for inventing the Internet
~ Rick Riordan
Sports Stars quotes by Rick Riordan
I think that in the darkness beneath the stars the desert evokes even more loneliness than the sea. ~ Howard Andrew Jones
Sports Stars quotes by Howard Andrew Jones
Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrity. ~ Daniel Burrus
Sports Stars quotes by Daniel Burrus
Most teams have one All-Star, whether that guy made it this year or earlier in his career, and some teams have two All-Stars. What theyre showing is that a group of five guys that play together and play hard will always beat a team with two All-Stars and three average players. ~ Ray Allen
Sports Stars quotes by Ray Allen
She's a fighter, and she does the long program well, so we'll see how it turns out. And in figure skating, it's never over until the fat lady sings. ~ Frank Carroll
Sports Stars quotes by Frank Carroll
May the saints of all the stars and constellations bring you hope as they guide you out of the dark and into the light, on this voyage and the next. And all the journeys still to come. For now and evermore. - The Doctor. ~ Chris Chibnall
Sports Stars quotes by Chris Chibnall
If the Americans, in addition to the eagle and the Stars and Stripes and the more unofficial symbols of bison, moose and Indian, should ever need another emblem, one which is friendly and pleasant, then I think they should choose the grapefruit. Or rather the half grapefruit, for this fruit only comes in halves, I believe. Practically speaking, it is always yellow, always just as fresh and well served. And it always comes at the same, still hopeful hour of the morning. ~ Johan Huizinga
Sports Stars quotes by Johan Huizinga
The shows of the day, the dewy morning, the rainbow, mountains, orchards in blossom, stars, moonlight, shadows in still water, andthe like, if too eagerly hunted, become shows merely, and mock us with their unreality. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sports Stars quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Coach does not play in the game, but the Coach helps the players identify areas to improve their game. ~ Lord Byron
Sports Stars quotes by Lord Byron
The Dust pouring down from the stars had found a living home again, and these children-no-longer-children, saturated with love, were the cause of it all. ~ Philip Pullman
